Sometimes the day is not yet over and there it is on your screen again---another grim update.
But we have to learn to laugh and find a reason to do so. As cliché as it may be, laughter is the best medicine.
Laugh
After a week of not watching, I had my dose of the TV show Friends again.
Thank God for humor. Thank God for comedy shows. What a dreadful life it would be without laughter, no?
I like that I can laugh about the silliest things. That I'm able to find humor even during this time.
God gave us joy. He brings us reasons to laugh and be happy.
Don't you just love laughing?
When I need a good laugh, I look at videos and funny photos of our dogs. They can surely make me smile every time.
I watch funny guilty dog compilations online.
I look at memes.
I recount funny experiences or hilarious conversations.
My husband does a good job of making me laugh with his silly remarks.
Which is another answered prayer, by the way. I asked God to give me a partner who can make me laugh. I remember my exes couldn't. 😆
We cannot really love anybody
with whom we never laugh.

My brother introduced to me Key & Peele of Comedy Central.
I think the actors there are superb. For them to be able to shoot the scene without losing it is beyond professional.
